The aircraft development program continues to progress toward a first flight anticipated later this year. “The Beechcraft Denali represents our continued strategy to invest in clean-sheet and current products in both our Beechcraft and Cessna iconic brands. Beechcraft turboprops are renowned for their versatility and reliability, and the single-engine Denali is a perfect complement to this legendary family of products,” said Ron Draper, Textron Aviation, president and CEO. “Pilots and passengers will appreciate the aircraft for its enhanced capabilities, innovative technology and all-around passenger comfort.” The Beechcraft Denali is designed to outperform its competition with projected lower operating costs, Garmin G3000 avionics, and the largest cabin in its class. Engineered to achieve cruise speeds of 285 knots with a full fuel payload of 1,100 pounds, the Denali will have a range of 1,600 nautical miles at high speed cruise with one pilot and four passengers. “We continue to receive interest around the world from turboprop and piston owners of competing aircraft, who are looking to move into an aircraft with greater performance and enhanced passenger experience,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations.

  • Aviation Week, April 2021 Issue “Ready to Fly”, GE Catalyst Story
    Aviation Week, April 2021 issue “Ready to fly”, GE Catalyst story Aviation Week: Flight Tests Beckon For GE Catalyst Turboprop Guy Norris April 7, 2021 The Catalyst turboprop, GE Aviation’s new small-engine program, is entering the homestretch toward flight testing, certification and initial installation on Textron Aviation’s Cessna Denali turboprop single. Delayed by more-extensive certification requirements than originally expected and by pandemic- related disruption, the engine has taken longer to develop than GE envisaged when it first announced the program more than five years ago. The new turboprop, however, has now been installed and run on a modified Beechcraft 350 King Air in readiness for flight tests and is undergoing certification ground tests. As the first clean-sheet, all-new centerline turboprop in its class in five decades, the Catalyst has been subjected to stringent certification testing in new areas, such as critical ice core icing. “We just got through that core icing test in Canada, which was a very significant milestone for us,” says Paul Corkery, GE Aviation turboprops general manager. “A lot of things have changed since the last turboprop, so we’ve gone through a lot of testing and, in fact, have completed three of the certification tests now,” he adds. Designed to compete principally with the Pratt & Whitney PT6, the Catalyst has been developed to provide a new-generation power source for general aviation and business aircraft applications, advanced military trainers, unmanned air vehicles and, potentially, hybrid-electric-powered cargo drones and air mobility vehicles. The 850-1,650-shp-range engine has a 16:1 overall pressure ratio, four-stage axial single centrifugal compressor and several advanced features derived from GE’s larger commercial turbofans.

  • Cessna Denali Propels to Next Stage of Development; Engine Tests Exceeding Expectations
    ⏲ 20 May 2019, 04:50 (CDT) Cessna Denali propels to next stage of development; engine tests exceeding expectations Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today it is nearing completion of the Cessna Denali prototype as well as the first two flight and three ground test articles, the latest milestone in the development of the company’s new clean-sheet, high-performance single-engine turboprop. “The result of the work we are doing now in design, production and testing is going to provide a mature configuration that will help us move through certification and flight testing, ultimately bringing a proven aircraft to the market,” said Chris Hearne, senior vice president, Engineering. “The Denali is being designed and built to outperform the competition in capability, pilot interface, cabin experience and total ownership costs.” The prototype and the first two production conforming aircraft will be used in the flight test program set to begin later this year, where the three ground test articles will be used for the company’s airframe static and fatigue tests, and for cabin interior development and testing. Iron Bird Component Integration In preparation for first flight, the company also recently completed component integration for the Denali iron bird, a full systems simulator test rig laid out in the configuration and size of the Denali. Leveraging unique Textron Aviation engineering and manufacturing techniques, the test rig incorporates the design of the aircraft’s avionics, electrical and engine control systems, then positions them in a framework that makes the systems easy to access during testing. The iron bird will play an important role in testing the Denali’s Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), which controls both engine power and propeller pitch with a single lever.
